    Camera Care This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical

    shock.

    The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you

    accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest

    Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the

    camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.

    Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such

    as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near

    anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong

    magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.

    Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.

    High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction. The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to

    disassemble the camera yourself.

    Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and

    focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean

    the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest

    Canon Service Center.

    Do not touch the cameras electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to

    prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera

    misoperation. If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,

    condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent

    condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to

    the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

    If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid

    damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and

    battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated

    before using the camera.

    If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery

    and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the

    camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to

    check that the camera is still working.

    Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a

    darkroom or chemical lab.

    If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions

    before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is

    an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canondealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

    Handling Precautions

  • 8/14/2019 Canon DSLR camera Instruction Manual

    15/292

    15

    Handling Precautions

    LCD Monitor

    Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision

    technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there might be a few dead

    pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displayingonly black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images

    recorded.

    If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur

    where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only

    temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.

    In low or high temperatures, the LCD monitor display may seem slow or it

    might look black. It will return to normal at room temperature.

    CardsTo protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:

    Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,

    physical shock, or vibration.

    Do not touch the cards electronic contacts with your fingers or anything

    metallic.

    Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field

    such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having

    static electricity.

    Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Store the card in a case.

    Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

    LensAfter detaching the lens from the camera, attach the lens

    caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid

    scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

    Cautions During Prolonged Use

    If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, ormovie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may

    become hot. Although this is not a malfunction, holding the

    hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin burns.

    About smudges adhering to the front of the sensorBesides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases lubricant from the

    cameras internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. If visible spots

    remain on the image, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is

    recommended.

    Charging the Battery

    Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.

    Recharge the battery before using.

    Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be

    used.

    Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose

    its power.

    After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the charger

    from the power outlet.

    When not using the camera, remove the battery.

    If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small

    amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge

    and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover

    (provided) attached. Storing the battery after it is fully charged can

    lower the batterys performance.

    The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/

    60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available

    plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any

    portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can

    damage the battery charger.

    If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully

    charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.

    Purchase a new battery.

    Tips for Using the Battery and Charger

    After disconnecting the chargers power plug, do not touch the prongs for

    at least 3 sec.

    Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E10.

    The Battery Pack LP-E10 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using itwith an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction

    or accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.

    3Formatting the Card

    The card is new.

    The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer. The card is full with images or data.

    A card-related error is displayed(p.250).

    Execute [Format] in the following cases:

    About Low-level Formatting Do low-level formatting if the cards recording or reading speed seems slow

    or if you want to totally erase all data in the card.

    Since low-level formatting will erase all recordable sectors in the card, theformatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.

    You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this

    case, normal formatting will have been completed and you can use the

    card as usual.

    When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file managementinformation is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be

    aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the

    card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to

    prevent the data from being leaked.

    Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software in the card must be

    installed in your computer. Then format the card with the camera.

    The card capacity displayed on the card format screen might be smallerthan the capacity indicated on the card.

    With Basic Zone modes, all you do is point and shoot and the

    camera sets everything automatically (p.63, 232). Also, to

    prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations, major

    shooting settings cannot be changed in fully-automatic modes.

    The focus confirmation light blinks and focus is not achieved.

    Aim the AF point over an area having good contrast, then press theshutter button halfway (p.39). If you are too close to the subject,

    move away and try again.

    Sometimes multiple AF points flash simultaneously.

    This indicates that focus has been achieved at all those AF points. When

    the AF point covering the desired subject flashes, take the picture.

    The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus confirmation

    light does not light.)It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving

    subject. (The focus confirmation light does not light.) You cantake sharp pictures of a moving subject.

    Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the subject.

    If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to (Manual Focus),

    set it to (Auto Focus).

    Although it is daylight, the flash popped up.For a backlit subject, the flash may pop up to help lighten the

    subjects dark areas.

    In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes.

    Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to

    fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called AF-assist

    beam. Its effective range is about 4 meters/13.1 feet.

    Although flash was used, the picture came out dark.The subject was too far away. The subject should be within 5

    meters/16.4 feet from the camera.

    When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out

    unnaturally dark.

    The subject was too close to the camera, and a shadow was created

    by the lens barrel. The subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet

    away from the camera. If a hood has been attached to the lens,remove it before taking the flash picture.

    Shooting Tips

    If the 30" shutter speed and the maximum aperture

    blink, it indicates underexposure. Increase the ISO

    speed or use flash.

    If the 4000 shutter speed and the minimum aperture

    blink, it indicates overexposure. Decrease the ISO

    speed.

    set are limited. With , only the shutter speed and aperture are setautomatically. You can freely set the AF mode, drive mode, built-in flash,

    and other functions (p.232).

    3Setting the Image-recording Quality

    I want to select the image-recording quality matching the paper

    size for printing.Refer to the diagram on the left when

    choosing the image-recording quality. If

    you want to crop the image, selecting a

    higher quality (more pixels) such as73,83,1, or1+73is recommended.bis suitable for playing the images on a

    digital photo frame.cis suitable for

    emailing the image or using it on a Web

    site.

    Whats the difference between 7and 8?

    It indicates a different image quality due to a different compression

    rate. Even with the same number of pixels, the 7image has higher

    image quality. If8is selected, the image quality will be slightly lower,

    but more images can be saved to the card. Bothbandchave7(Fine) quality.

    I could take more shots than the number of possible shots

    indicated.

    Depending on the shooting conditions, you may be able to take

    more shots than was indicated. It might also be fewer than indicated.

    The number of possible shots displayed is only approximate.

    Does the camera display the maximum burst?

    The maximum burst is displayed in the viewfinders right side. Since

    it is only a single-digit indicator 0- 9, any number higher than 9 will

    be displayed only as 9. Note that this number will also be displayed

    even when no card is installed in the camera. Be careful not to shoot

    without a card in the camera.
